Tajemství

In computer science, „Tajemství“ translates to „Secret“ in English. It generally refers to data or information that is kept confidential and is accessible only to authorized users or systems. Secrets are commonly used in various contexts, particularly in the fields of information security and cryptography.

In cryptography, secrets are often associated with keys used for encryption and decryption processes. These keys must remain confidential to ensure the security of the information being protected. In software development, secrets can also refer to sensitive credentials, such as passwords, API keys, or tokens, which need to be stored and handled securely to prevent unauthorized access to systems or data.

The management of secrets is a critical aspect of secure systems, leading to practices such as secret management tools, which provide safe storage, retrieval, and auditing of secrets. These tools help mitigate risks associated with exposing sensitive information while enabling developers and systems to access required data securely.
